Frozen Zoo scientist on preserving wildlife DNA
Original: Preserving wildlife DNA for the future: Interview with the Frozen Zoo’s Katie Heineman
The Frozen Zoo, a biobank run by the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, stores genetic samples from thousands of endangered species. Scientist Katie Heineman explains in an interview how preserved DNA supports conservation, helping researchers study genetics, assist breeding programmes and potentially revive lost diversity as habitats and species decline worldwide.
Why now: Renewed interest in biobanking and genetic tools as conservationists look for new ways to protect endangered species.
